Peter Gowland died March 17 but his legacy will live on.

He was responsible for making the classic pinup just that—classic. He used lots of natural light and gorgeous beaches to create images of beautiful women and men.

Gowland seemed to know all the tricks to pinup photography and he published 26 books to share his knowledge with others.

To prevent models from tiring, he made hidden foot supports out of wood so they could stand for long periods. But what most photographers of that time remember him for are the cameras he designed and built in his garage and sold.

Please take a moment to check out his body of work.
